SIR: While millions of people are stai-ving, we, who during the War broadcast daily appeals for their support to the then conquered peoples and who pledged our selves to uphold for the world the princi ple of "freedom from want," waste food wantonly; so that if the dying could wit ness this contempt for Man, they would be made to wonder, in their anger, how we will escape the grinding jaws of hell. Europe is in a worse economic plight under allied control than it might have been if the Nazis had won their war. It is enough that the democracies have re tracted their promises and so plunged the continent into a tenth-circle of hell. Catholics, at least, should consider their responsibility before God. As for Notre Dame, herself, in order to conserve food in the Dining halls, I suggest that at the noon meal (when most of the waste takes place) students be allowed to request of the "serving- girls that nothing be put on their plates which they know they will not eat. Es pecially in regard to vegetables, the girls might well ask each student whether or not he wants a serving. The saving in food should be considerable, at the very least a thousand pounds a week. The ac tual food saved could be sent regularly as a gift from Notre Dame to various universities abroad, or the money saved could be used to buy food to export in this manner. Such an enterprise would not only be right action, but would ex LISTEN TO THIS!" press to the all-but-despairing students of Eoman Europe our solidarity in **The things I find myself buying! .
